Arsenal draw felt like a win for Chelsea - Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho suggested that his side's 0-0 draw with Arsenal on Sunday felt like a victory.

The Blues maintained their 10-point lead over the Gunners by holding off Arsene Wenger's side at the Emirates Stadium which means they need just five points to secure the 2014/15 Premier League title.

After the match, Mourinho indicated that the one point Chelsea secured felt much more like three because now they only require two wins to hold the trophy aloft.

"It's one point. It leaves five," said Mourinho.

"If we'd won today we'd need three. If we'd lost today we'd need eight.

"This point is like almost three points, because you don't need eight, you need five.

"It's a positive result... a fair result, if you forget the penalties. And I want to forget the penalties because I think the referee (Michael Oliver) had a very good performance."
